Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Sky News endpoint catalog — 7 endpoints, 11 documented request parameters, and 7 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
7 documented Sky News endpoints, grouped into 7 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 4 more.
11 request parameters are documented across those Sky News endpoints, 11 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
7 of the 7 Sky News endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 7 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Sky News endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
7 hosted MCP tools back the Sky News endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/skynews/articleReturns a Sky News article by canonical `url` of the form `https://news.sky.com/story/...-<id>`: title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, image, body `paragraphs` and a `paywalled` flag.
MCP tool skynews_article
/skynews/authorReturns a Sky News author's profile by canonical `url` (`https://news.sky.com/author/<name>-<id>`): name, `job_title`, biography paragraphs and recent articles. An `info` list carries whatever else the page shows, as label and value entries with an optional link, such as expertise, location, social handles or email.
MCP tool skynews_author
/skynews/headlinesReturns fresh headlines from one Sky News section, either its official RSS feed or (for the 5 sections with no feed) its public hub page.
MCP tool skynews_headlines
/skynews/newsReturns Sky News's latest top stories across the site. Takes no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time and image. Pass an item's URL to `skynews-article` for its body paragraphs.
MCP tool skynews_news
/skynews/sectionsReturns the Sky News section inventory: 9 official RSS feeds plus 5 additional site sections with no RSS feed, listed from their public hub page instead.
MCP tool skynews_sections
/skynews/videoReturns one Sky News video's public metadata (title, description, thumbnails, duration, embed URL) from a canonical video URL. There is no transcript or article body for a video.
MCP tool skynews_video
/skynews/videosLists recent videos from the Sky News videos hub. Takes no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, summary, author, lead image, publication time and type. An item's `url` can be passed to `skynews-video` to get that video's own metadata.
MCP tool skynews_videos

How to scrape Sky News
Sky News mixes nine RSS-fed sections with five sections that exist only as public hub pages, plus a separate video hub and author pages; it has belonged to Comcast since its 2018 takeover of Sky. Crawlora's seven endpoints cover all of it as normalized JSON. The videos hub skewed heavily toward AI on 2026-09-24: at least nine of the 44 videos returned touched AI, from a Newsom interview on state regulation to a segment questioning viral humanoid-robot footage.
Call /skynews/sections for all 14 accepted slugs — 9 official RSS feeds like home and uk, plus 5 hub-only sections such as money and offbeat that have no RSS feed. All 14 were live and unchanged on 2026-09-24.
Call /skynews/news for fresh public Sky News RSS headlines across the site; a 2026-09-24 morning pull returned 10 items, most of them UK stories.
Pass a slug from /skynews/sections to /skynews/headlines. The 5 hub-only sections are parsed from their public hub page instead of RSS, and may mix in video items.
Pass a canonical news.sky.com/story/...-<id> URL to /skynews/article for its metadata and body paragraphs. A developing UK story pulled on 2026-09-24 was published at 05:44 UTC and already updated by 10:18 UTC, and the response carries both timestamps.
Pass a news.sky.com/author/<name>-<id> URL to /skynews/author for their job title, expertise, biography, and recent articles.
Call /skynews/videos for the public videos hub, then pass a returned news.sky.com/video/...-<id> URL to /skynews/video. Each record carries duration_seconds, three thumbnail sizes, and an embed_url at news.sky.com/iframe/widget/video/<id>, separate from its page URL.

No. Only 9 do. The other 5 — money, science-climate-tech, offbeat, analysis, and data-and-forensics — are parsed from their public hub page instead, and can include a video item alongside articles.
No. /skynews/video returns the video's public metadata — title, description, thumbnails, publish date, duration, and embed URL — but there is no transcript or article body for a video.
An iframe player at news.sky.com/iframe/widget/video/<id>, a different path from the video's own news.sky.com/video/...-<id> page URL — use embed_url if you're dropping the player straight into your own page.
For that pull, yes — at least 9 of the 44 videos /skynews/videos returned covered AI, spanning a Gavin Newsom interview on state AI regulation, a segment on AI weapons, and one debunking viral humanoid-robot footage.
No. Sky News' RSS feeds, hub pages, author pages, video hub, and articles are all public; Crawlora reads them as published, and no subscriber session is used.
